OUR NEUTRALS

Judge Bostrom retired from the bench in 1990. After teaching evidence and tort law for 3 years, he entered into the Dispute Resolution Profession. Since that time, Judge Bostrom has become one of the most requested mediators in the state. Beginning in 2002, when the Daily Journal began listing California's Top Neutrals, and almost every subsequent year, Judge Bostrom has been included in this select group. For the first 12 years as a Neutral, he was selected by many as an Arbitrator. Known for his clear analytical mind, detailed decision writing skills and easy going personality, he has presided over 2,500 Binding Arbitrations. Since 2002, he dedicated his practice to mediation and since successfully mediated over 6,000 complex and challenging cases in every area of Civil Litigation. Many attorneys have commented on the range of qualities that make Judge Bostrom a consistently effective mediator. Some attorneys said it is his breadth of trial experience, as he has tried over 80 jury trials to verdict, on behalf of both Defendants and Plaintiffs. Others say his years as a trial judge give him greater credibility with their clients. Many claim his sense of timing and persistent energy account for his remarkable success. All agreed his knowledge of the law, coupled with an unerring sense of fairness and intuitive sense of people, makes him one of the most effective and sought after mediators in the industry.
